Hello everybody!
I am Eleni, I am Greek and I am living in France, I have a french litterature degree and I have been working for twenty years in the banking business. Unfortunately crisis in my country left me and my husband off the sector so I then decided that dreams should be realized....
I am planning soon to make my own little laboratory of taste, personal training and seminar area for those who would like to try, to learn and to have fun as well.
A lot of my friends were always telling me that making sweets is difficult. It's not. There are easy recipes and difficult ones, but what counts is for all recipes to have correct quantities of ingredients and pure material to use. Even if you don't know how to bake a cake, I can guarantee you that with a lot of practice and starting from "scratch" you can make a whole new world in the kitchen looking sweet and inspiring. We will discover tips and methods to make life easier in kitchen.
You may find below some of the topics that are about to be posted soon and during the next months.
- Description of techniques: you can learn easy and difficult ways to preparations. Depending on the sweets, you will be able to check your abilities, send me your comments and difficulties faced and be as well trained to become your own "chef at home".
- Recipes: Easy and difficult ones.
- Exploitation of the "sweets" world: We find famous recipes and evaluate them.
